Reasons given... Consider...

“Belts are uncomfortable” We design our safety belts to enhance

comfort. If you are uncomfortable -

try different positions for the safety

belt upper anchorage and seatback

which should be as upright as

possible; this can improve comfort.

“I was in a hurry” Prime time for an accident.

BeltMinder reminds us to take a few

seconds to buckle up.

“Seat belts don’t work” Safety belts, when used properly,

reduce risk of death to front seat

occupants by 45% in cars, and by

60% in light trucks.

“Traffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in

single-vehicle crashes, many when

no other vehicles are around.

“Belts wrinkle my clothes” Possibly, but a serious crash can do

much more than wrinkle your clothes,

particularly if you are unbelted.

“The people I’m with don’t

wear belts”

Set the example, teen deaths occur 4

times more often in vehicles with

TWO or MORE people. Children and

younger brothers/sisters imitate

behavior they see.

“I have an air bag” Air bags offer greater protection when

used with safety belts. Frontal airbags

are not designed to inflate in rear and

side crashes or rollovers.

“I’d rather be thrown clear” Not a good idea. People who are

ejected are 40 times more likely

to DIE. Safety belts help prevent

ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OUR

CRASH”.

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt

Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk of

injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt

Minder feature please follow the directions stated below.
